WI Court of Appeals – District II

Case Name: John Hyink v. John Wolf

Case No.: 2015AP136

Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.

Practice Area: Enforcement of Settlement

John Hyink and Hyink Well Drilling, Inc., (collectively, Hyink) and John Wolf and Wolf Joint Revocable Trust (Wolf) entered into a postmediation agreement to settle a business dispute. Hyink appeals the judgment and order entered on the circuit court’s ruling on the parties’ cross- motions for enforcement of settlement. We affirm to the extent that the court orally ruled that the agreement required Hyink to provide Wolf a Real Estate Security Agreement (RESA). We reverse to the extent that it ruled that the “spirit” of the settlement agreement required HWD to assume credit card debt not addressed at mediation.
